HP Coarse Wave Division Multiplexer - Manual (Page 20)

• Avoid bringing synthetic materials such as polyester, plastic, vinyl, or styrofoam into the area
where installation is being performed because these materials carry static electricity that may
damage sensitive components.
Mounting the equipment in a rack
The HP CWDM 2-slot chassis can be mounted in a standard 19-inch cabinet or rack.
To attach the chassis to a standard 19-inch rack:
1. Insert two cage nuts on each rail.
2. Support the chassis so that all of the mounting holes in the HP CWDM 2-slot chassis are aligned with
the corresponding holes in the rack.
3. Attach two rack-mounting screws to each side of the rack.
4. Tighten all of the screws in rotation.
Inserting and removing HP CWDM MUX modules
To insert a module:
1. Align the module with the chassis shelf ( Figure 11 ).
2. Gently push the module into the shelf cavity.
3. Tighten the captive screws.
Figure 11 Inserting an HP CWDM MUX module
To remove a module:
1. Loosen the captive screws at both sides of the module.
2. Gently pull on both screws at the same time to release the module.
3. Once the module releases, it should slide out easily from the shelf.
Inserting and removing CWDM (SFP) transceivers
Before inserting the CWDM (SFP) transceivers, read the following handling, safety, and environmental
guidelines:
• CWDM (SFP) transceivers are static sensitive. To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge
(ESD), follow your normal board and component-handling procedures.
• CWDM (SFP) transceivers are dust sensitive. When storing a CWDM (SFP) transceiver, or when a
CWDM (SFP) transceiver is disconnected from a fiber optic cable, always keep the dust cover
over a CWDM (SFP) transceiver’s optical bores.
